EB stops taking pre-orders
Following Toys R Us lead, Electronics Boutique "EB" has announced on their site that due to the tidal wave of consumer demand for the Xbox, they have stopped taking pre-orders. EB started taking Xbox pre-orders on Sept. 1st and its what Sept. 8th... WOW! I bet if you listen carefully you can hear Mr Gates wallet grow or better yet, all those Xbox haters slowly crying themselves to sleep at night.
Word around the net is that EB might be taking more orders later on down the road. So stay calm there are plenty to go around.
